VIDEO > Hilti TE 500-A36 is the first cordless breaker: Makes destruction easier, can be paired with cordless backpack dust collector

Hilti used the World of Concrete to debut what it calls the world’s first cordless breaker, the TE 500-A36.

The 36-volt battery powered tool uses the company’s Active Vibration Reduction (AVR) technology to reduce vibration by more than 30 percent. It weighs 17.4 pounds but an adjustable, ergonomic D-handle on the port side helps keep the operator comfortable and in control.

The TE 500-A36 hits with 5.8 foot-pounds of impact energy while cranking out 3,300 impacts per minute using SDS Max type bits and chisels. The chuck and dust shroud are the same as Hilti’s corded models, so you don’t have to go out and buy all new accessories to use it.

“This is a sister to our DX63-3 conventional tail swing model,” says says Aaron Kleingartner, Doosan Infracore North America marketing manager. “The dig depth and reach are virtually identical on the two machines, so it gives a contractor a choice between a conventional machine that has a little more lift capacity for craning materials or reduced tail swing for tighter areas.”
